A 1968 Plymouth GTX thats factory-correct inside and outand#44; and even has it original 440 big block under the hood?! Oh yesand#44; this low-numbers Mopar is just as unique and special as you think. Just check out the interior! The GTX was the gentlemans muscle car. Many people were not willing to go to the expense of premium rapid transitand#44; and instead opted for its Road Runner sibling. Today that makes the GTX one of the most respected and rare Mopars aroundand#44; so you are already going to gain gawkers from far across the car show field. As they get closerand#44; the compliments will start with the paintwork; and youll be able to tell them its a professional respray of the factory-correct F-code Forest Green. Theyll start to admire the details like the pristine brightworkand#44; complete badgingand#44; black vinyl roof with coordinating dual side stripesand#44; optional Magnum 500 wheelsand#44; and redline tires. Thats when you open the door and knock their socks with the interior. The sea of green continues inside with a factory-correct two tone that is one of the most amazing patterns you will ever see. The appearance and the level of restoration/preservation will win awards on its own. Almost everything you can see or touch feels like its 1968 all over againand#44; including the seat coversand#44; door panelsand#44; and carpets. Theres hints of wood paneling on the doorsand#44; dashboard and three-spoke sports steering wheeland#44; which makes this feel like driving a mean green forest. Besides just the extra wide speedometerand#44; the driver gets a full gauge setup that includes temperature and ammeter. This is a complete package right down to the factory AM radio. But honestlyand#44; the radio is secondary to the rumbling soundtrack you create with your right foot. Power comes from the biggest engine in Chryslers stableand#44; the venerable 440 cubic-inch big block. The V8 is original to this GTXand#44; which should make you weak in the knees thinking about the rarity. It looks very business-like under the hoodand#44; with Chrysler Blue paint on the block and that big Super Commando air cleaner up topand#44; which hides an upgraded Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. This one shows signs of the kind of proper maintenance worthy of a valuable muscle car. So when you twist the key and hear the dual exhaustand#44; dont just enjoy the throaty rumble... also check out its path. Even the undercarriage is super clean and carries the green and black appearance of the rest of this coupe. But just because it looks this good doesnt mean its not begging for Sunday drives. Power steeringand#44; the Torqueflite 727 three-speed automaticand#44; and power brakes give this a fine presence on the road. Plymouth made less than 18and#44;000 of these hardtops in 68. How many do you think are this nice and factory correct nearly a half a century later? Dont take to long to answer that questionand#44; because you know an exceptional Mopar like this will be gone soon. Call today!!! |
